“Generation after generation has passed down the ancient legend of a boy-king named Arthur who pulled a sword from stone, loved the beautiful Guinevere, and presided over the Round Table.  And we still celebrate the ancient Celtic holy day of Samhain, only now we call it Halloween.  The earth itself has preserved sacred Celtic cauldrons designed to raise soldiers from the dead.  These legends and artifacts are all found in Heroes of the Dawn: Celtic Myth, an exciting new book that explores the fascinating world of ancient Celtic legend and belief.  This is just one volume in a new Time-Life Books series called Myth and Mankind, a culture-by-culture examination of world myth and its historical roots.”
